Just thinking about this. IF Dale's video isn't so CMT quality, not cute enough, not enough T&A, does that mean the Derailers are. No offense but they aren't Toby Kieth either. Please don't take offense but they are old boys just like most of us, not to young and pretty. If I thought prettyness was the main feature in the music business, I sure as hell would have found something else to do.Bring Dale back out and play his damn video.

Roger, I think you are on the money. Dale is country. In fact he is country a lot more than some. So why not put the video in the rotation all the time. Let the people decide for once. One thing we can do is contact CMT and ask why Dale isn't in the rotation. If enough ask, they won't have any choice but to run it. The guy is good, not to mention Ricky who ain't too shabby either.

There may be an issue of 'slot fees' that haven't been addressed.

Yes it was a dated format. I did notice the band members were featured. My first thought about the spinning lights was disco but I think they precede that era.
Don't look for the young viewers to be impressed.
